Moth Trap

A big thank you to Mr Colville who lent us his moth trap.
We put it out in the middle of the Nevil field last night. The bright bulb attracted moths in all night. We carefully lifted the egg boxes inside to find the moths.


There were a lot of moths but below are some of the stars. 

Do you know their names?

It was fascinating to see all of the ways in which the moths used colour to camouflage themselves and blend in to the background.
